Principal Highlights

 

Dear Cedar Hill Families, 

Please note that we have an abbreviated dismissal at 1:10 PM on Wednesday, 2/25, for a staff inservice. Aftercare will run from dismissal through 6 PM. Please pack a lunch or substantial snack as the cafeteria will be closed. 

All items in the Lost & Found will be donated next week. Please take a moment to look through before then.

Students are invited to wear a Hawaiian shirt next Friday, 2/27, for our Student Council Spirit Day!

If your child is participating in the STEM Fair, please check your email for important updates sent on 2/17.

Moving forward, our upcoming events calendar located at the bottom of each Friday Folder will highlight unique events rather than regular activities such as chorus, orchestra, band, etc.  Please refer to our School Event Calendar for a complete list of activities.  

Cedar Hill School is partnering with YoungLives and Feeding Hands Pantry to support families in need through a Diaper Drive from February 1–March 31. We are collecting new diapers and wipes.

Next week’s Word of the Week is humble. Humble means not thinking of yourself as any better than other people. An example sentence for this word is: The ballerina was humbled by the standing ovation and flowers that she received after her ballet performance. Please review with your children at home if possible!
